Dr Sujitha Selvarajah is a British Sri Lankan Tamil obstetrics and gynaecology doctor whose work spans frontline NHS care and international public-health policy. Before founding Hesta Health, she worked in global health and research roles at the University of Oxford and University College London, focusing on maternal health, equity, and the policy gaps that shape outcomes for women in the UK and abroad.

Her clinical career inside the NHS, paired with research and advocacy work, gave her a close view of where the postnatal system breaks down: care that ends too early, fragments across providers, and consistently fails to meet the needs of new mothers. That gap is what she and her co-founder set out to address.

In 2025 she co-founded Hesta Health with Amanda Cupples, former Managing Director of Northern Europe and MEA at Airbnb and a former CCO/COO of Babylon Health. The company launched in July 2025 with £2 million in pre-seed funding led by Eka Ventures, aiming to rebuild postnatal care for the first two years after birth and, over time, to expand into a broader women's health platform.
